We laid low today. A visit to the farm gave everyone an opportunity to check in on the baby calves, watch Dad milk the cows, and visit the family homestead. They made fun of all my Parent's old photos of me and my baby brothers. Vergie refused to milk a cow and Rita Jean named three of the newest babies. Whitney gave him permission to do so last night. He chose "Blanch, Rose, & Dorothy," but they already have a Rose so his second choice was "Promises." Fortunately these were from the dairy side of the operation and will not end up at the end of anyone's fork. Vergie did pose for this photo with the semen gun (a tool for artificial insemination.) Unfortunately, it was too cold to operate any farm machinery or run around on the quad runners. There is always the next time!
Thanks to Baby brother for making his famous OSU Chili and Baby Lisa for serving up some fine shredded barbecue beef sandwiches along with assorted other treats for dinner. We closed the night by teaching Mom to play Black Jack. She finally went home at 12:30. I'm crashing out while the others are teaching Vergie to play Euchre. Fun times. We plan to get up at 8 AM tomorrow and leave by 9:30 to make some Amish country purchases. Worst case scenario, we leave at 11:30 to catch our afternoon flight home.
Remember...for those of you stuck back in DC...we plan to hit Duffy's for $1 beer cans around 5 PM on Monday night. Hope to see you there.
